Lacertians are an intelligent species in Lowiras. They are not widespread, with only ~54 billion individuals. Their homeworld is Calyion, and the Zopoque, the dominant nation of the Lacertians, formed there. They are bureaucratic and obsessed with efficiency. They are reluctant to fight but not unwilling, and so their relationship with other nations depends on the possible spoils of peace or war.

Anatomy

Internal

Lacertians have a slow metabolism. Their bodies run at a slower rate than other species. As a result, they have a high natural lifespan and see many other species to be fast and ephemeral. Some cybernetic augmentations are used to help process the higher speeds of smaller creatures. Their stomachs are proportionally small, with large, slow beating hearts. They have internal ears and optic nerves that do not cross. Because their left hemisphere tends to be dominant and controls the left side of the body, most Lacertians are left handed.

Their tongue is forked, and has a large number of glymph vessels that give it psychic properties. It is used in both olfaction and the detection of thaumic energy. In addition, they have a "third eye," a parietal dot on their foreheads that also has Neuromantic abilities, which allows them to "see" thaumaturgic interactions that other species cannot.

External

Lacertians are quadrupedal reptilian creatures. They have 3 fingers on each foot. They have eyes that are commonly green, blue, or black, and scales that are commonly green, dark blue, or earthen tones. They have short arms and legs. They have large tails that assist in movement.

Behavior

Lacertians are focused on efficiency. However, every day of work is logged, managed, and tracked when possible. Lacertian culture may lead to repetitive life due to the prioritization of efficiency and bureaucracy. Anything that might require record is recorded. Almost every interpersonal decision includes a contract.

Because their society imposes so many social rules, they find social interaction exhausting. They have a loneliness crisis, mostly among older generations who feel more pressure to conform to the rules of society.

Lacertians interact with one another often, as every job is done collectively. When stressed or upset they blow off steam with friendly fights. They usually remain civil in these activities because an injury or grudge would bloat everybody's lives with Dispute Forms.

Lacertians live on their own for most of their lives. They are only children for about 20 years before they can live alone. They live private lives due to the fact that all work is monitored, logged, managed, and usually involves some sort of paperwork.

Combat and Martial Arts

When Lacertians fight on even ground, they are either fighting for fun or absolutely cornered. They employ combat techniques enabled by their body structure. Using claw sheaths, Lacertians can engage in safe, sporting combat.

Death Roll

A common tactic among Lacertians is to grab their opponent using claw and fang to get a strong grip before whirling around as fast as possible. This tactic is not effective against other Lacertians but it is effective against prey animals and less flexible opponents.

Ecology

Lacertians' diet on Calyion consists of grasses and flowers to fulfill their need for fiber and blubbery and furry animals as a source of protein and iron. In primitive times they would hunt by staying still until an animal wandered within their large reach before attacking, but in modern times they have domesticated animals as beasts of burden and food.

-==Overview==
-Lacertians are an intelligent species in [[Via Aylathiya]]. They are not widespread, with only ~1.185 trillion individuals. Their homeworld is [[Calyion]], and the [[Zopoque]], the dominant nation of the Lacertians, formed there. They are pragmatic and logical, and are guided by practical gains, displaying well-developed emotional control. They are reluctant to fight but not unwilling, and so their relationship with other races depends on the possible spoils of peace or war.

 ===Internal===
-Lacertians have a slow metabolism. Their bodies and minds run at a slower rate than other species. As a result, they have a high natural lifespan. Their stomachs are proportionally small, with large, slow beating hearts. They have internal ears and optic nerves that do not cross.

-They have 4 fingers on each hand and 5 on each foot. They have eyes that are commonly orange, blue, or black and scales that are commonly green, light blue, or pale orange. Their arms and legs are long compared to their torsos. their digitigrade feet support an often hunched posture. A gene determines whether an individual has hunched or straight posture.

-=== Social ===
-Lacertians interact with one another often, sharing solutions to each other's problems and exchanging opinions. While poor at adapting to new environments and situations, Lacertians exceed at social adaptation, and can exchange opinions without arguing, as long as the opinion is practical in nature.
+===Combat and Martial Arts===

-[[Calyion]] does not have the environment for large amounts oil or coal to form, and so Lacertians developed clean energy. Because of this they do not cause large amounts of carbon pollution.
